The majority of ferry crossings are served by Brittany Ferries' vessel, the Armorique, which came into service early 2009. This impressive ship is spacious and features cheery decor and a friendly crew, always smiling and helpful. Some crossings during November and December use the MV Bretagne, another highly specified ship.
The Brittany Ferries car ferry from Plymouth to Roscoff in North-West Brittany offers a very convenient way to take your car right into the Celtic heart of this beautiful part of France.The sea journey to Roscoff takes about 6 hours by day or 8 hours for the overnight crossing. There are sailings all year round, up to two a day in each direction in the Summer. See the latest timetables for the Brittany Ferries crossing from Plymouth to Roscoff.
Brittany Ferries' flag ship, Pont-Aven, will be sailing from Plymouth to Roscoff every Thursday night throughout the summer, departing at 20.45. You can board an hour early giving you plenty of time to enjoy the culinary delights of 'Le Flora' a la carte restaurant. Arrival in Roscoff is at the agreeable time of 08.00 the next day. Visit Brittany Ferries' website for full details, timetable, prices and to book your Plymouth to Roscoff ferry crossing. What a civilised way to start your holiday!
All ships have a range of accommodation on board, from comfortable reclining seats through budget ensuite cabins to the luxury of a Commodore Cabin with TV, large bed and a sitting area. Overnight crossings mean you arrive refreshed and ready for your journey into France, whilst you can request a daytime cabin for a really restful and relaxing journey across the Western Channel.

The
high standard for which Brittany Ferries is known is reflected in the quality of
the food onboard. The Pont-Aven has no fewer than 3 restaurants and 3 bars, while
the Armorique has a large self-service restaurant and a cafe-bar, plus further bars,
and like the Pont-Aven, two cinemas.| Plymouth is easily reached along the A38 Devon Expressway which is effectively
a continuation of the M5 motorway. The journey takes around 4 and a half
hours from central London or about 3 and a half from Birmingham. And if
you need to stay overnight in Plymouth the city rewards with its spectacular
position at the head of Plymouth Sound, its high quality hotels and shops
and plenty of good restaurants. Roscoff is a delightful small Breton port. This is where Brittany Ferries started their operations back in the early 70's, when a group of Breton farmers got together to form a co-operative to export their agricultural produce - cauliflowers in particular - to the UK. A good road soon takes you to the N12 at Morlaix, a dual carriageway taking you to Rennes in about 2 hours, from where the whole of France is within reach. |
But for many, Brittany itself is the goal. In the north and west you find wild and beautiful coastal scenery where secluded sandy coves hide between dramatic cliffs, while in the south the scenery is softer with estuaries and sandy beaches perfect for a family holiday. Inland the landscape is often rugged and windswept, but deep wooded valleys offer seclusion and some great walking. Finally, the towns and villages of Brittany, from the maritime city of Brest, to tiny hamlets close to ancient stone circles, all have their special charm.
